Why not just put them in the swear filter, that way there’s no grey area and people can be infracted for not knowing certain words aren’t allowed to be used?

If that word is Feck, it isnt actually related to the word ****, so you can still use it. Weird anyway that admin care about swearing on a forum generally used by adults.

Although tbh I don’t actually see the issue with swearing, provided it’s not being nasty about another forum member

There’s been multiple infractions for people using that word apparently, so it seems as if it isn’t allowed, although undoubtedly we will only find out what we’re not allowed to say when it’s too late.

Fair Enough, thanks for the info Smithy
I was not on that thread.
But I respect what Admin inform me on.
That's why I felt I should make a thread on this section

I am just being honest

Quote:
The use of obscene or taboo language - or swearing, as it’s more commonly known - is often seen as a sign that the speaker lacks vocabulary, cannot express themselves in a less offensive way, or even lacks intelligence.


Studies have shown, however, that swearing may in fact display a more, rather than less, intelligent use of language.
Are we saying we want people with less intelligence on this site

If they’re not added to the filter it’ll be impossible to keep track of.

I don't get why alternatives are such an issue, let alone the actual ones. Are we rebranding to ThisIsCreche.com now??
